- Page 2 Finally, the Main System Unit outputs the signal to the IR flasher which relays the infrared command to the audio/video component you wish to control. The IRC-1 relays the infrared command using “flashes” of infrared light in a pow- erful flooding pattern from its two...
- Page 3 L.E.D.'s. The output is extraordi- narily accurate over a wide bandwidth. This allows the IRC-1 to control most makes and models of IR controlled audio /video components. The IRC-1 is compatible with all Niles infrared repeaters, infrared routers, and multi-zone keypad systems.
- Page 4 This pro- vides you with easy hookup. • An adhesive-backed Velcro strip is included with the IRC-1, providing quick, secure, “remove and replace” mounting. • The IRC-1 is supplied with an ample ten feet of connecting wire.

For tall stacks of components use multiple IRC-1 flashers. For example, place one IRC-1 at the top of a stack with the L.E.D.'s point- ing down and one IRC-1 at the base of the stack with the L.E.D.'s pointing up (See Figure 2). - Page 6 Sometimes, it is desirable to mount the IRC-1 so that it directly faces the equipment from across a room. In this type of situation the IRC-1 has an effective operational range of 18 to 30 feet (depending on brand and model).

Increasing the Wire Length If the connecting wire is too short to reach the main system unit, a new length of heav- ier gauge wire should be spliced onto a six inch length of the original wire.

IR Transmitting Angle Variable with the brand and/or model of the audio/video component. Because of the high power and “flooding” pattern of the IRC-1, extreme transmitting angles can be successfully used if the sensor window of the component is close.
